Talk:Broadcast programming

TV Guide
I was redirected to this page when looking for "TV guide" as in the magazine, and I'm very confused why such a search would redirect to this page. Other, far less popular, magazines have Wiki pages, why not TV guide? I was hoping to find information explaining the change in size and format around 2005. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 70.240.151.5 (talk) 21:33, 12 February 2009 (UTC)

Proposed move
The current article title, Scheduling (broadcasting), is totally cumbersome and somewhat inappropriate, as the article starts off by restricting itself to television scheduling. Hence my first idea was to move it to Television scheduling.

However, I see that there is a "parallel" article Radio programming (Television programming currently redirects here), so perhaps Television programming is the correct name.

However, the things in this article basically apply equally to TV and radio, and the Radio programming article seems to be about the history of radio programs, not the nitty-gritty of scheduling them. So an even better idea would be to move this article to Broadcast programming, redirect all of the above to that article, and then, if necessary, merge the Radio programming information into existing articles such as History of radio.

Talk amongst yourselves. --Quuxplusone 04:50, 9 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Discuss here.


 * Support move request because of how similar it would be to Radio programming. The title in its current form is kinda awkard. 205.157.110.11 01:55, 10 January 2007 (UTC)


 * Page moved per discussion. -GTBacchus(talk) 02:08, 15 January 2007 (UTC)

Block programming vs Stacking vs Theming
Aren't these all the same thing? The descriptions don't seem to support a distinction between them. --Khajidha (talk) 01:09, 24 December 2017 (UTC)

Unusual subsection in the lede
Having an unusual subsection in the lede is advisable in this case, because the last sentence contains several redirect terms, which are normally in the first sentence or two, if present. Creating a subsection will emphasize the redirect terms for any reader arriving at this article via one of them. Blainster (talk) 21:01, 11 June 2022 (UTC)


 * @ViperSnake151 please respond to suggestion Blainster (talk) 21:16, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
 * This is part of the lead because it's a key aspect and doesn't really have anywhere else to go. Also, the "unusual" also referred to the fact that it was using a heading that clashes with MoS (that's one for sub-headings, not headings). ViperSnake151   Talk  21:23, 12 June 2022 (UTC)
